For a LinearLayout, you can use android:layout_width="0px" and
android:layout_weight="1". The non-zero weight indicates that you want
the TextView to absorb any excess space left over in the row, after
calculating all other sizes.

You would specify the first button as alignParentLeft="true", the second
button as alightParentRight="true", and the middle button as alignLeftOf
being the left button and alignRightOf being the right button.
